HS Shop is Under Construction

The title Says it all,
The HappySparkles Shop is under construction for business.
What is the HS Shop you ask?
Easy it is a shop that I recently spent some time on making, while it is so simple it is simpler then simple, this is just a test mod but is still under construction.  I will not go too into detail but the plan for this shop is a merchant who pretty much provides all services. ATM She is only level one sadly as I've had issues (Shown in the screenshots of how she now looks different) I was trying to make her PC offset to match more or less the player level but it did not go well. I tested this by attacking her and my low HP character did not die in one hit. So yeah no go.

I basically had to recreate the Entire NPC but will keep the other one for memories sake. Also she is the beginning of something more (as probably the title will tell you on the ESP itself) but this mod basically is a baby mod that is planned to be expanded upon and will surely lead to her opening her own shop else ware and by shop I mean a real shop (as my skill lets me more or less) Because of this I do bare warning that this shop is Intended to be Female and Transsexual friendly and it will sell most if not all of my mods (for now). I will try to include fair prices and perks. Also for those who want zero to do with Transsexuals or just do not want to buy clothing from a shop, some of my mods will have either alternate FREE locations (with minimal to no hints) also some clothing will only be unlocked via certain conditions. This is all in testing ofc, as I need to think (the solution I am sure is simple) of a way to add the items without interfering too much with the original mod.  I will probably update the ESP with the newer Items which basically means you have to keep you eyes open on the original mod. OFC Links will most likely be posted on the release of the outfits. Once again I will have to see. The mod will originally be released with all the stuff I already made and maybe 1 or 2 new things.

Posing for Attention

Me sneaking in an ass shot but got caught :p

Also atm notice how Tall Minako is. for the time being I choose to use her as a high elf. This is something that is also VERY temporary, though I do confess the High Elf voices is exotic; I don't care what everyone else thinks on it. It is sexy xD. But I will be making my own custom race for the official Merchant. Though she will still be Minako and her base outfit may also change as well.

More on the Elegant Dress

Today I did quite a bit but had some issues too which I am still working on.
I finally was able to get the dress more or less to as satisfying level. Though it could be better.
The armor I am satisfied with but still there are some issues with the skirt.  I actually liked how it came out over all but I still need to practice on bone weighting, which I barely have experience with. The closest Experience I have is doing butt bounce and breast bounce.  But doing leg movements seems to boogle my mind. I guess I can just bone weight another dress but I want to try myself first.  I also managed to separate the Pieces from the armor, all that is missing are the shoes, and the necklace, the panties are already made but they do not have any textures to them yet so I have to work on that. TBH same is for the whole outfit, these textures are more then likely to be close to the final textures but not exactly the last texture.  Also the good news is I finally added the Transgender Bulge to the skirt :D

  What I basically did was instead of having the Dress contain all the pieces, I decided to add Shoulders and Elbow Guards to the actual dress (which the final will come with the dress separately to be consistent with my fashion set.  The hands are actually the Gloves and the Gauntlets.

 

Over all the dress does look nice, this seems to be more or less one of my less sexually suggestive mods. Now I am a pervert so it can be a little difficult for me to go with something not ultra suggestive but I am managing though the slit and the open middle kind of allow for me to keep that sexual touch without going too far and pulling a Typical Happysparkles move. My wife is a pervert too but even she told me I should do something other then Bikini/ Panty mods since pretty much everything I released are just that.

Blender Tutorial for today

It has been a while since I've done one of these. But today I finally felt free enough to devote some of my time to learning a little more about modding or in this case 3D modeling. Now it is not that I am neglecting modding or Skyrim work but it is in fact to improve my modeling for modding.
Today's work was the work on the Penguin which I feared was hard but was not so bad. It is fairly basic but it works.  Blender is a very nice tool for sure it's a shame that so far (at least from the last time I checked) it cannot work with Skyrim.  So I'd have to start fresh if I want to mod there.
Here is little Pingy

He looks nice and smooth, no colors though I can probably make the mesh have colors but it would do no good when exporting to oblivion. It seems according to the book that this is not the last time you will see little Pingy. I may actually use the completed version some how in the game but we'll see about that.

During this tutorial I learned a few tricks they are simple but they were over my head. Basically I learned about getting more camera angles and as well as learned that different things happen depending on those angles too. Another notable thing is that I learned about Unit's I've actually had a clue about them before but never seen it practiced so I kind of left it alone because I did not pay attention to that bar underneath our mesh.
This may be good because it may help me to have a more SET style for my clothing or should I say proportionate?  So when I do subsuf it should come out fairly neat.

8 GRUELING WEEKS COMPLETE!

That's right it is official
I have FINALLY Finished my 8 weeks of crazy classes.
Now I can focus on Modding.
I will not make a big deal of this plan for the time from school but then I will lol.
I kind of am hoping to do a few things.
- Do a few more blender tutorials (maybe 4-8) to make myself a better modeler
- Try to learn a bit about UV mapping, this still remains a mystery for me.
- Start training on Skyrim mods. (maybe release a very simple mod for the hell of it)

These are a few to start, over this time I want to try to become a better modder. So long as I have time cause I also want to spend time with the Wife and Puppy ^_^. I need to do that.
Since I posted a pic on Lovers Lab (I love that site too much) I should post it here too ^_^.

Here are a couple of my concept arts. Maybe one day I will be able to mod them in to Oblivion.
I am no where near even decent and most the poses are still posses since they are intended more as an idea for mods to do in Oblivion or Future games I play. I've done little doodles for years and I decided to post some here. 

So inspired by watching Too Much Transformers :p

 

 

 

Just a Random Pic

This is probably going to be part of my armor Pack but this is why I need to learn to work with UV Maps L:(

These are just kind of bored concepts I tend to have to doodle them out before I forget. So I do a rough stick figure version then just draw it out.


-HappySparkles.

More on that Long dress/ Skrim again.

In regards to Skyim, I start an 8 week non college vacation (though I still work) during this time I will try my best to train not only for Skyrim but also improve my skills for oblivion during this time. I may or may not release many mods. I know last month despite me being super busy I released 3 mods in a 1 month process. This was a very good pace for me. Maybe more then I expected but nice none the less.  Now if I do happen to mod Skyrim, since I talked to my friend. We will mainly work on Oblivion Together, Skyrim mods will be 100% solo and part time. I am going to do the majority of my work for Oblivion and may port some over to Skyrim if I learn how to from time to time. 

I actually did some work on it but I forgot to show case it in an official Posting. Basically I am working on an "Armor" skirt. This is a long skirt and it basically is to be elegant and may come in 4-5 colors. This is my first attempt on an actually armor part so it is a little rough around the edges. None the less the plan for this skirt is to have one arm be an armor while the other is more of an elegant silk/velvet sleeve.  So far I have no noobish Mistakes on it (that I can see so far) so this is a great start. (I actually need to do a couple of fixes on that Valentines Day Bikini)

This is still VERY much in the early stages. Notice that the Transsexual body type is not shown yet, this is because everything atm is tentative. I may make the armor a one piece armor as well as make it into hands instead of arms. I will have to decide this soon so I can work on getting the style for where I will boarder most of my hand wares.  This colors are based off the Recent Valentines Set and uses Fabric 1 and the Arms are currently using ANB's C Texture. This is all temporary and will be changed very soon. The skirt at the moment is slated to come in Variants of Black and White (of course) and Red for sure. The other 1-3 colors are still up in the air but I am thinking a Deep navy and a soft pink. I love women in pink but not sure Pink fits this style. I may also provide a Short variant of this skirt as well.

Sadly I am slowly starting to Refuse complete projects until I learn how to Map Texture Maps.
It is starting to upset me. Like is there no tutorial for dummies like myself out there? I do not mind googling and did in fact learn that if I do not google take RL pictures will do the trick but still does not explain how some modders do Maps that the Clothing is the texture (the UV map).
This is the thing that drives me a little insane and kind of kills my momentum. I also need to figure out how to stop having my Icons looks all stretchy in game.  But I am not so worried about the Latter, I may start to use simple icons in the future just for ease of access.

Skrim Mods

So after something it has come to the point that I am considering doing Skyrim Mods.
I am still going to be focusing mainly on Oblivion, but I will be seeing how Skyrim works out. Luckily some of my issues with Skyrim are being resolved from a Posting That can be found here.
If I do Skyrim mods I may be doing my own body from scratch and it will either be realistic or non realistic but will more then likely have big boobs.

Also for Skyrim,  I will probably be combining the Female and Transsexual mods, but I will probably NOT be posting the Transsexual work Nexus since someone gave me the heads up stating that there are some people who report it as inappropriate which is sad.

This is all tentative at the time since I will try to undergo MAJOR training and will also convert some of the items to both games (not all but some). Skyrim may or may not happen. I am also waiting for my Friends KosuKosu's reply since me and my pal may be working together. I am also willing to collaborate with other workers of Transgender mods. My main focal point on the Skyrim mods will be the Transsexuals because I feel they are under represented and only a few people try to keep them going.

Worst case Scenario I am open to working on the bodies that are already in Skyrim too. I am not a closed minded person and always willing to adjust. Also Oblivion Fans do not worry I will continue to do my Suicup Female and TS-BTRA mods on Oblivion, but I respect Speedbuster's wish that she had somewhere posted on her blog about converting her stuff to other games which is a NO NO. I am not sure exactly where she said it but she did.  Now for Skyrim I am also posted this on the Lovers Lab forums but I will post here too because I really need to find some guidance in this respect.

I need to learn how to do texture maps, I've spoken to many people but never truly found a "Right" way to make it. I am kind of tired of using Google to find textures. I want my textures to map around my UV Map.

A couple of other things I am in process of figuring out in Skyrim are these issues.

1) When your HP is low you get this annoying screen effect

2) When you die the annoying screen effects are still there.

3) you cannot move camera when dead

4) 90% of the time when you die you do the damn curtsy dance. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlFPJVI9-ng)

5) The bouncing boobs and ass are VERY glitchy and not as you know well weighed like DMRA in Oblivion. (Kind of will be testing the links in 2 weeks)

6) Armor is upper and lower in one piece (though many modders found a way around that

7) You cannot see camera rotate view when walking etc IE the Front view to watch my boobies bounce.
8)  Which mods can make me make VERY cute character. (Female and ofc males) like Rens beauty pack. (Kind of satisfied but need it for all races :) )
9) Very Feminine body movement replacement mods (maybe even some that effect male and female gender) (Will be verifying links in 2 weeks for this)

 Once this happens I am willing to play around with Skyrim Modding a bit.


Thanks

A little Dress Test

Just playing around with blender today and tried to make something interesting.
What I got was this.

With this dress I went for an elegant look, for the time being this is only made in the Female version as I might be doing some more work on it soon.
Only thing I did not like is when I walk I can see my legs poke through the skirt. Not sure how to fix that with bone weights yet but I will play around a bit and see what comes out of it.l

Small Anouncment!

I have a small announcement to make in regards to a mod to come soon.

NEWS 1

I am sure everyone remember my working on the Seductive Frill set.
Well today I have finally decided that I will continue and still provide the hats with the set (the small hats)... But I also decided that along with that I will be releasing a mod that is meant to be all mod friendly.

This hat mod will be a big mod but small one. It will consist mainly of just hats.Just a bunch of hats, these hats will probably be amulets like my usual hat mods for the head but it will have over 30 colors and a couple of variants. It is a simple hat but I think it is cute and since it seems like a mod that even HGEC, DMRA, Robertsbodies, Guts, and any body type really can use I might as well do my first None, Suicup/BTRA release. The hats will mainly come in colors to compliment my current and old mods.  (I may add colors as time goes on) They are all basic for now and may stay that way all the way, as there is no dire need to make extreme changes.

News 2
I recently also released a pair of high heels with some cute socks.

I did not really give the socks much of a spotlight, but I persoanlly love the socks (and the heals) so I will be doing another separate mod which is meant for Suicup, BTRA, and DMRA that has just the shoes and the socks in multiple colors as well. The shoes maybe the same with slight changes (probably without the heart since it is specific to my valentines day set). The socks will also not have the hearts since they also compliment my valentines day set, though I'd love to see that.

News 3
I have exciting news for fans of the known A-Cup Femboy/Transsexual body.  
I have finally made contact with the original author and asked him about using the body.
(http://desuchan.net/tr/res/28915.html)

And I have gotten his approval. So it's official. Trap body will also be on my list of bodies to work with. Please keep in mind that it is still not my main body but I will be working on it occasionally, it will be more of a request thing. But please do NOT be shy of requesting mods to be converted to the Trap body type.  I will do conversions of anyone's work including my own so long as it is approved/ free to use permission. It will more then likely be accompanied with BTRA-TS and Sui cup mods too ofc.
Also keep in mind I will continue to call this the Trap Body (for now) since it is the name given by the original author, but I prefer to call it femboy

Once again do not be shy to ask for work to be done on it.
Also note I will be using mainly the Tools for this mod on this mod.

Thanks
-HappySparkles :)
